Prohibition Supporters Prohibition had been repealed, but the WCTU (Women s Christian Temperance Union) was a very vocal minority when they convened in Washington. Older women speaking to camera, states " I solemnly promise, God helping me, to abstain from the use of all distilled, fermented and malt liquors. And that means wine and beer. I don't drink, and I will do all I can to keep you from drinking." Very matronly looking women.
